Snowy owl needs a hair cut by Réjean Biron (13 images)

This snowy owl looks like it needs a trim as its white feathers flop down over its eyes. The female bird is actually fluffing-up her plumage to protect herself from the chilling wind.

Gusts as cold as -12C blew the feathers across the owl's face as she perched on a fuel tanker at a military airbase near Montreal, Canada. Photographer Réjean Biron, 63, climbed a snow bank to get a clear shot of the owl at Saint-Hubert Air Base.
